Icing as a kind of food raw materials which easy to regulate andmatch colors, is widely used in snack food modeling and decorating,have been greatly improve the value of the traditional foods.
Practice for the traditional icing decoration products iscommonly using the manual operation way, one of the issue is thelarge consumption of artificial quantity, and the other is thehigher operation skill for workers''. Therefore, in order tosatisfied the users demand, we processed more various attempt andresearch and development in automatic icing decoration machine,currently icing decoration machine which produced successful havebeen already can satisfy common decoration machine thick producttechnological requirement, which to a certain extent replaceartificial, alleviate the industry employment difficultproblem.
Icing decoration need to address two core challenges: First,feeding problems; decorating nozzle movements and programmingissues.
I. A Icing feeding:
Icing feeding process characteristics of the raw materials withthe icing is closely related to the mechanical configurationrequires a good fit for the process characteristics of the rawmaterials. In order to ensure the flow of raw materials, to beequipped with appropriate temperature control system; highviscosity materials need for the rational allocation of pressureconveying system; discrete high materials appropriate to shortenthe feed pipe.
Design skills the right decoration nozzle requirements arerelatively high, for different fineness requirements, both toensure the patency of the material is not blocked, but also toensure the integrity of the rewinding drip require decorationnozzle at the same time more decoration the nozzle of the materialsalso have a good consistency. In practice, we found that, with thevalve body control functions decoration nozzle is a betterchoice.
II. Decoration nozzle motion control andprogramming:
Foreign company articulated the robot decoration work, the robotis fixed on a workbench, hand hanging 4-5 decorating nozzle and therectangular mounting plate, a pastry rows in order The conductdecoration. However, the practice of the articulated robot is notsuitable for domestic applications, mainly the price of anarticulated robot frequently more than RMB 200, 000 yuan, theaverage user is difficult to bear, there is also a complexproblem.
XYZ architecture Cartesian coordinate robot the productiondecoration machine is a good choice, with the advantages of simpleinstallation, easy operation, low cost. This Decoration machine ismainly composed of the following sections:
1. X-Y-Z table:
Constructed of stainless steel a XYZ table, install theCartesian coordinate robot, while planning the work interval andfabric range. XYZ manipulator can be used three sets of rails,screw and servo motor combination into a single arm robotarchitecture.
2. Feeding system:
As mentioned above, need to build a raw material for featuresthat match the feeding system.
3. Decoration nozzle motion control andprogramming:
Modular motion control system to quickly build a system thatsatisfied decoration nozzle movement control and programmingrequirements. Its main advantages are reflected as follows:
1) man-machine interface: using the touchscreen as the man-machine interface and teach pendant, showing theteachings of graphical programming, users can quickly enter theproduct design, which eliminates the pain of programming code.
2) Powerful software: 3-point arc, 3:00 round,multi-point interpolation of the complex graphics of the brokenline, multi-point curve, while customers can also insertedaccording to the requirements of the production processes andmaterial properties of set Decoration mouth send empty, Withdrawingaction, meet all decoration required functional requirements.
3) The modular, flexible architecture: thecontrol system can operate independently can also be combined intoa linkage operation of the entire line can be adapted to the useron the assembly line production of complex products demand, thesystem scalability and maintainability.
